My impression is that she knows nothing about computers. This would
make it very easy for her client, the BRT, to mislead her were they so
inclined.
In my recently settled case against the Records Dept., the senior
lawyer in charge of the case brought in a young lawyer who knew
computers to assist him. The two of them spent a couple of weeks
researching the Dept.'s fees for computer records--$400 for 4 MB of
info--and then cut them by 90%
I think the City lawyer in this case--Mimi Choksi--should do the same.
